UNIVERSAL GOVERNOR APPARATUS — MOE Lab Tender Details

Product Description

This lab experimentation set-up by lab cart is designed to study the working of different governors generally used to control the speed. It comprises of a main spindle, erected vertically on the base plate. This spindle is driven by a variable speed motor which is also fitted vertically on the same base plate. One governor assembly out of four can be mounted on spindle. The spindle speed is controlled by speed control unit. A graduated scale is mounted on the sleeve to measure the displacement.

SCOPE OF STUDY:

• Determination of characteristic curve of a sleeve position against speed of rotation for all governors.
• To study the effect of varying the mass of the center sleeve in Porter and Proell Governor.
• To study the effect of varying the initial spring compression in Hartnell Governor.
• To study the determination of characteristics curves of radius of rotation against controlling force (Actual & Theoretical) for all governors.
• To study the determination of characteristics curves of sleeve position against speed for all governors.
